international Cattle Convention.

Denver Telegram: At the Wednes-
day session Of the international Cat
tie Convention several papers on the
cattle industry and the best way 10
conduct IL were read. A resolution
was adopted, demanding Q retrench-
ment Of the expenses Of shipping beef
cattle. 1t provides for the appoint
ment Of q committee OF three to confer
with the house com mittee with view
Of obtaining uniform price Of $25 per
bead for the sale of range cattle.
Mr.. J. J. McGill, OF Cleveland, was
called for and he read short address
on the monopolies Of stock yards con-
Germs and the middlemen, in which
he laid the troubles of the cattle grow
ers not receiving just prices for their
cattle at the doors OF these middlemen.
On Thursday resolution was adopt
ed ia the International rage conven-
tion setting forth that Coleman, COM
missioner of the agricultural depart

under the laws Of the United States,

him for his action ip the matter. The
proposition of Mr.. Gillian, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, for pooling the cattle in
terests In the range country and FORM

Improving Broncos.

The bronco horse or the Indian
pony does well on the toughest of fare,
and under the severest exposure, but
IL they are crossed with a heavy draft
horse breed, accustomed to full feed
and rapid growth therefrom, subject
ing the issue TO the conditions under
which the unimproved animal has
done well. 1t will soon be found that
the effort has aborted for the want OF
sustaining the tendency to more size,
by better care and more feed. The
same rule holds good as between
the scrub COW and a specimen Of the
improved sort. In this case size
and flesh.making tendency are intro.
duced where before a skinny tough.
ness held sway. The latter would
hold its own under conditions ol
neglect, there being little to hold
and almost nothing to lose. because
except when resting from the duties
Of maternity and highly fed the aver
age scrub COW is not expected to carry
any material about with her, except hel
working substance-bones, muscles
etc. The ancestry Of this sort. like th,
ancestry Of the bronco, has been so un.
used to hardship and scant feed thsI
little change can be seen when
these influences are brought 10 bear
But when, as stated, all this has been
changed increasing the fesh-making
tendencies, refining the creature
throughout, the necessity Of giving
additional care, feed and protection
has also been increased. and the full
benefit Of the improvements can be
obtained in no other way.

House Bill No. 20.

A registration law which may work
well in settled communities will some.
times fail to prove satisfactory In q
mining and stock growing country.
For instance, there are men In Mon
tans who have resided here for nearly
q quarter of century. Their bust.
ness as interested parties In mining or
stock growing enterprises frequently
calls them from their homes. Should
this call necessitste their absence from
their voting precincts between the
twentieth day Of August and the
twenty.first Of October. they will lose
their vote, although their names may
have been placed upon the great reg
lister the year before. This Is wrong.
No man should be compelled % appear
year after year before some registry
agent and describe himself, his age,
occupation, residence, etc., TO entitle
him TO vote. After the first registra-
tion no other registration should be re-
quired unless the voter shall change
his voting precinct.
The object Of registration law is TO
preserve the purity Of the ballot box.
1t should have no other. But house

and loaters who never get out of sight
of gin mills can exercise IL. Many Of the
former are away from their families
and homes, in the mountains. look
ing after their mining interests, or on
the ranges, caring for stock during the
days for registration, while the latter
are holding down chairs and benches
in saloons. When election day comes
the tax-psying, independent citizen
finds his name and age and occups-
tion, residence. ETC.. do not appear
that year upon certain book. and he
is shut out from the ballot box. but the
old chair and bench warmer whose
vote has been purchased by some as
pirant for Office for dollar and a
drink of villainous whisky, and whose

homes. walks up to the polls with the
air Of lord, and enjoys q right de-
MED TO man whose taxes may be ap'
piled In supporting just such worthless
paupers In the poor house during the

Mr.. Buskett's bill should be amend
ed 30 as TO provide that one registra-
tion will suffice, unless the voter move
from one voting ward or precinct 10
another, In which case another regis
tration shall be required. There are
other grounds upon which valid objec-
tion can be urged against the measure,
among which Is that the duty ofregis-

The House was too premature In pass.

with a thirty days session still before

UNITED STATES DEAL.

Only the Express Business of the
Baltimore and Ohio Purehased-The
Road not to be Sold.
Baltimore, Sept. lst-The Baltimore
and OHIO express passed into the hands
OF the United States express company
to-day, and it's officers were notified of
the cnauge. There will be, Tor the pres
ent at least, no changes in the employs .
speaking OF the sale, counsel tor the
Baltimore and Ohio says: THE senti-
mept that the Baltimore and Ohio ex.
press has been sold to the United States
express company is not correct. There
has been simply q contract entefsd into
between the W companies, by which
the United States express will u the
Baltimore and Ohio express for thirty
years, for which the former is to pay the
latter company a certain percentage OF
the earnings"
1t is now very generally belieYed here
that the sale OF the express company is
not the last OF the deals Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad company. Special
dispatches from New York render it
conclusive to the minds of many psomi-
nens business men that the telegraph
system of the company will o pass
into other hands, if the negotiation is
not already concluded. The impression
also prevails that Garrett is anxious to
dispose of the road, and the announce
ment of Its sale will not create any sur
prise here. -
Vice President Spencer, in answer to.
inquiries on the subject, to-day confirm.
ed the disrssal Of the plant of the Balti-
more and Ohio express company, and Of
the execution of the contract
between and to the railroad
company and the United States express
company for thirty years, but declined
to give any futher particulars. He,
however, regarded the arrangement as
quite advantageous TO the interests
both. OF the railroad company and the
express company. Spencer stated that
there WAS no truth whatever in the state
ments as to negotiations with London
bankers for the control OF the railroad
company, or that the house Of Robert
Garrett & Sons was selling or intending
to sell its holdings, and he knew of no
such intentions on the part OF other
large holders. He treated as absurd the
statement that the Pennsylvania rail-
road had advanced or was advancing
any moneys to the Baltimore and Ohio
company, looking to Its control, or for
any other purposes. The control of the
company had not, and would not pass
pass into its rivals hands. 1t would con-
tinue as an independent trunk line, with
the interests of ell classes of stockhold-
ers fully and amply cared for, working,
it is hoped, in such harmony with con.
neoting and competing interests as would
secure the best resnlts OF all. The COM
pany Is doing q large business and has
met, and was prepared to meet promptly,
it's obligations of every character.
